Just like big brothers three day... learned the wrong darn test. Wrong year. Luckily just at the schooling show vs at the actual three day.
warmed up much better and more chill. didn't feel like i was going to die or get any children bucked off. stll a bit quick and against my leg. but in heat. so maybe that's part of it. Also need to adjust her soon!
went to do the test and got the bell rung because i didn't halt and salute. (for the record.. there is no halt and salute in the 2022 test). then went again and she rang the bell at the track left... we're not on the same test. Oh.. because it's 2026! Ugh. luckily got to go out and learn it and come back and ride it. honestly not sure it would have gone any better had I ridden it before because it's the same issues, but she was fussier because she had to sit and i didn't get to get her settled again. But she was quite good considering. The walk for 4-6 steps over X is hard though and we definitely need to practice that. our free walk and stretchy trot kinda sucked this go round.
good pony though.. rinsed off and headed back home to swap out for dan.
